Okay....I didn't buy it, so I watched it because I still have Disney as part of a package I have with my hulu subscription.
I have to admit that The Little Mermaid was pretty good. Matter of fact, the live action (if you can call it that) was better than the cartoon.
Just a few problems with it.
Ariel was pretty and had a great voice. The Prince was just what you'd think he'd be. White, handsome, and charming.
But then they introduced his parents. His mother was Black and his father was Arabian. I remember him from "True Lies". He was the radical Islamic terrorist that Arnold had to deal with in the movie.
So explain to me why this coupling produced a white kid?
And the only White woman it seemed in the movie was an evil witch.
I can see why kids would enjoy the movie because it was heartwarming and entertaining.....but come-on. Stop pulling my leg on the ethnicity of the characters.
